Members

• width number, positive, read-only. Width of the surface in pixels.
• height number, positive, read-only. Height of the surface in pixels.

Notes

• It is faster to blit an image to screen than a surface, but it is much easier to manipulate a surface.

• The Surface object can be used to quickly make custom screenshots:

GrabSurface(0, 0, GetScreenWidth(), GetScreenHeight()).save("my_screenshot.png");

• The fundamental pixel colors can be altered in any way using Surface.applyLookup(), or the Sphere ColorMatrix object functions Surface.applyColorFX() and Surface.applyColorFX4().
